Some of this is just the bank being a pain. 

That sounds like a giant pain in the ***.

It's actually a very common issue and it is mostly one of those self-imposed pains.  

I feel your pain.  

Any roof repairs become a bigger pain too.Aren't you seeing people putting up roof decks near that house?

Apparently that's just a way for them to make additional money.So, I feel your pain, but in the end I would try to make a reasonable assessment of the situation and then figure out how to proceed.The Lesson learned for me on this was - always get a termite inspection first.  

If demand wains then those that aren't cut out to be landlords could be in for some pain.

After seeing @Gary Swank and @Chis K. comments however I'm rethinking looking at PA in particular Allentown and Pittsburgh.  

@Peter KimMan, that is painful.  

The partner also claimed to have broken her knee cap falling in the driveway rolling the trash container up from the street; when I commented it must be pretty painful walking around on it as I watched her do so she said she had a "high pain threshold".Sometimes it's just better to either take these complaints with a grain of salt (so to speak) or charge the tenants for these nonsense service calls.Gail
